Welcome!

For 38 years, I have been a wife to my husband and a teacher of our children in the home.

(Titus 2: 3-5) How important is this role of speaking into the lives of younger women! The habits of the home in one generation become the morals of society in the next. As William Ross Wallace said: “The hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world.”
